best led tv value image

Can setting the contrast/backlight settings on my LED TV to a high value damage it? Also what are the optimal settings for safe use?
Answer
High brightness will cause the back lights to wear out sooner. This is common with any LCD device (even your iPod). "Optimum" is somewhat subjective. The factory settings are OK for most home users.

there's a leak in my apartment building and it dripped onto my tv?

my tv is now broken. how can i make them pay to replace it?
it's either a pipe leak from the apartment above me, or it is poor sealing from the outside of the building. i had maintenance come today and they didn't tell me much or do much of anything for me yet. they went upstairs and are investigating the leak. i told them about my tv and showed them the water damage and they didn't say anything about that either. it is a 27" flatscreen tv. about $400 or so.
i don't know who lives above me, but i don't feel right blaming it on them really either. i'm a college student and i live alone and don't have much money at all so having the tv replaced is somewhat important to me.
thank you all for your help so far. i truly appreciate it. this is my first apartment and i'm clueless. i don't have renter's insurance.
also, i was out of town when the leak happened. i was gone for a week and when i returned i immediately noticed the damage.
thanks again.

It all depends on who was responsible for repairs. Typically in lease situations the landlord is responsible for maintaining the common areas of the building while the tenant is responsible for all things internal to their rental - including the pipes. So, if the pipes that broke or what led to the failure in the pipes or plumbing was contained in the common areas of the building then your landlord pays. If the fault was of another tenant (i.e., pipes in their apartment) then they are liable. And if it was your own pipes then you are responsible but you could always argue that you always used the plumbing in a reasonable way (no teddy bear ever got accidentaly flushed down your toilet for example) and because of "poor maintenance" on the part of the landlord the pipes burst or whatever. Good luck. BTW, whoever you decide to sue, you can replace the TV and then get reimbursed but remember the reimbursement value must be reasonable for the court to uphold what you paid for the TV (no going from an RCA 13" tv to a 52" Plasma - you know). In closing if you own, or are part of a homeowner's association as an owner then you gotta cover the loss yourself unless you can show negligence in the maintenance by someone else. Good luck.
